The Leapton LP182*210-M-66-NH series is designed to maximize energy yield from a large module surface in installations where every square meter counts. The use of N-type TOPCon cells helps to minimize losses and maintain stable operation at higher temperatures, which, in Polish conditions, translates to more predictable energy production during the summer season. A key feature of this series is the 210R rectangular cells, which allow for better utilization of the active area, and consequently improve module efficiency without compromising performance specifications. The design with multi-busbar connections (MBB) improves current collection and resistance to micro-cracks, which is important during transportation and installation on roofs and ground-mounted structures. This is a good choice for installers and investors seeking high efficiency in low-sunlight conditions, as well as for larger commercial and industrial (C&I) projects where a quick return on investment and reduced degradation risk are important.

What owners get
Efficiency on par with segment leaders

Efficiency up to 23.32% matches the best TOPCon modules on the market (Resun RS8H-M-BD and Jinko Tiger Neo 66HL4M-BDV both post identical 23.32%), placing the LP182*210-M-66-NH series at the top of its peer comparables up to 630 Wp.

Rectangular 210R cells + N-type TOPCon

Combining N-type TOPCon cells with rectangular 210R format better utilizes the module's active area without artificially inflating datasheet numbers, translating into a genuinely higher yield per square meter of roof or ground-mount space.

MBB design resists microcracks

Multi-busbar (MBB) interconnection improves current collection and increases resistance to microcracks that can occur during transport and installation, reducing the risk of early power loss during the first years of operation.

30-year linear power warranty

The 30-year power warranty matches the standard offered by Jinko Solar and Canadian Solar on comparable TOPCon series, exceeding the market-standard 25-year warranty typical of older PERC technology.

BNEF Tier-1 status despite budget positioning

Leapton (headquartered in Japan, founded 2012) has achieved BNEF Tier 1 classification, confirming bankability for bank-financed projects, while remaining price-positioned below larger brands such as Canadian Solar or Jinko.

Trade-offs
Monofacial only

The LP182*210-M-66-NH series does not offer a bifacial variant, whereas direct competitor Canadian Solar TOPBiHiKu6 Anti-Dust at a comparable power rating (630 Wp) and efficiency (23.3%) is available bifacial, which in ground-mount installations with reflective surfaces can deliver an additional 3-8% yield not available in this series.

Shorter market track record

Leapton has been operating since 2012, a shorter history than comparable tier-1 manufacturers such as Jinko Solar (since 2006) or Canadian Solar (since 2001), which for very large financed C&I projects may be perceived as a slightly higher reference risk despite holding BNEF Tier 1 status.

Common questions

6 answered
What does N-type TOPCon technology mean in the Leapton LP182*210-M-66-NH panels, and how does it compare to PERC?
N-type TOPCon cells have a lower temperature coefficient of -0.30%/°C compared to a typical -0.35% for PERC, resulting in smaller power losses on hot days. They are also significantly less prone to LID (light-induced degradation) and deliver better performance under diffuse irradiance. In practice, the LP182*210-M-66-NH series generates more energy throughout the summer season than a comparable PERC module with the same nominal power rating.
Can the Leapton LP182*210-M-66-NH 630 W panel be installed on a standard residential pitched roof?
It is technically possible but requires careful evaluation. The panel measures 2382x1134x30 mm and weighs 29.5 kg, making it a large, heavy 630 W-class module designed primarily for ground-mount systems, industrial buildings, and C&I projects. For rooftop installation, the structure's load-bearing capacity, clearance from edges, and fire code requirements must be verified before mounting. Consulting a certified installer is strongly recommended.
What warranty is included with the Leapton LP182*210-M-66-NH solar panels?
Leapton provides a 25-year product warranty covering material and workmanship defects, plus a 30-year linear power warranty. After 30 years of operation the module retains at least 87.4% of its nominal power output, with annual degradation not exceeding 0.4%. This is among the longest power warranty periods currently available on the market and a key factor when calculating LCOE for larger projects.
Do Leapton LP182*210-M-66-NH panels perform well in overcast conditions typical of Central European climates?
Yes. N-type TOPCon technology delivers higher efficiency under diffuse irradiance compared to standard PERC cells. The rectangular 210R cells maximize active surface utilization, while the multi-busbar (MBB) interconnections improve current collection and reduce the impact of partial shading. As a result, the LP182*210-M-66-NH series achieves better energy yield in climates with frequent cloud cover, particularly during spring and fall.
What is the difference between the Leapton LP182*210-M-66-NH and the LP182*210-M-66-NB?
The NH suffix denotes a monofacial module, while NB stands for bifacial. The NB variant captures additional energy from light reflected off the ground (bifacial gain), which is most effective in ground-mount systems with high-albedo or white surfaces. The NH version is easier to integrate on rooftops and is generally lower in cost. Both variants share the same N-type TOPCon 210R cells with MBB interconnections and deliver identical front-side power output of up to 630 W.
How quickly do Leapton LP182*210-M-66-NH panels degrade over their lifetime?
The guaranteed annual power degradation is a maximum of 0.4%, which is better than older PERC modules that typically degrade at around 0.55% per year. After 10 years the panel retains at least 96% of its rated power, and after the full 30-year warranty period at least 87.4%. The low degradation rate is a direct result of N-type TOPCon technology, which is less susceptible to LID and PID than conventional p-type cells.
